Everything on the car apart from the exhaust manifold was custom made, inlet, chargecooler, infact there was Paperwork from Salv Sacco that it was a 300bhp engine "inside".
but when it went 'somewhere' once they'd mapped it and rebuilt it it could never get over 240bhp. Don't know why but I know the guy that 'remapped it' said it was running too much advance. Guess he didn't check the actual figures the works cars where (go look them up and be scared!)
still miss it and hate the fact it ended up looking like it did!
I love the fact that SteveT2 and his dad kept theirs looking like a TDC and didnt' go down the maxi route, as unless you do the whole hog, personally it doesn't work!
right off to go and look at pictures of our trip to france, not many cars gave Stu21t's M3 a race upto 100! ;-)
